Challenge

23.8 / 100,000

Maternal deaths per 100,000 live births.

Only Mexico had higher maternal mortality ratio than the United States out of 31 OECD nations, according to a recent study in the journal Obstetrics & Gynecology. The maternal mortality ratio doubled in Texas between 2000 and 2014.

Solution

Through its MOREOB program, Salus Global improves maternal outcomes with a focus on firstly reducing risk, followed by early diagnosis, and rapid response when risk does occur.

These improved outcomes include:

Inappropriate Post-Dates Inductions reduced by 55%

Normal Spontaneous Vaginal Delivery rate increased by 11%

Combined forcep and vacuum Operative Vaginal Births reduced by 47%

Prime Cesarean Section rate reduced by 12%

In the past decade, over 80% of babies delivered in Canada, have been delivered in sites actively participating in MOREOB or that had previously implemented the program.
